NEWO: the bar magnet is generating current in the loop, its not an electromagnet as i am not applying current to the loop, hope that cleared that up. I'm still have trouble determining the force acting against the magnet though. I'm not really too concerned about the electricity generated...

thanks for the replies! Hootenanny: I had a look at the hyperphysics site, some very useful info there thank you. As given by the figure in the bottom left of the link you gave me the voltage is proportional of delta B / delta t. Do bar magnets have a constant value of B? What about...

I am a third year aerospace engineering student with very little knowledge of eletricity generation. I currently cannot determine the simple derivation of Faraday's first (i think?) experiment of electromagnetic induciton (bar magnet passing through a loop). Now i understand that the voltage...
